Hi Canadiian,
I have already applied for renewal passport at BLS-Brampton center via Fedex/courier service. However, I haven't get any update from them whether everything is ok or not.
At a same time, I dropped a mail to CIC and got response that thanks for letting us know and send new passport copy ASAP.
I hope that I will get my new passport by end of March.

Regarding Passport validity, my case is similar to yours. My current passport is expiring in August 2015, which is less than 6 months validity now.
So, I am applying for a new one soon.
But, unlike your case, CIC did not ask me to provide them with a new valid passport copy yet.
Even if they do now, and give me 30 days, I should be able to request them to extend the deadline, without any problem.
I am just telling you this because, CIC gave you a 30 days timeline, to update them with new passport details, and as you know, it will take 4-6 weeks to get your new passport from the Indian Consulate. So, you did the right thing by requesting CIC to extend the deadline. They should be okay with that.
There is a Tatkal option to get your new passport on the same day from the Indian consulate in Toronto, if you are living there...rather than applying through BLS international services and waiting for 4-6 weeks.... but it's too late now, I guess, as you have already applied for it.
Good Luck,
Canadiian
